[Andriod] How to autorun an application when the Phone is switched ON.

Question

hi..

Can anyone please give me code or links or concept for running an android application on android device automatically.. whenever the device is switched on, application should start on its own, with out the interference of the user.

Thank you..

Answer 1

You need to declare a broadcast listener that listens for RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED"/>

In your listener:

Intent myStarterIntent = new Intent(context, YOUR_CLASS_TO_START.class);
/* Set the Launch-Flag to the Intent. */
myStarterIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
myStarterIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP);
/* Send the Intent to the OS. */
context.startActivity(myStarterIntent);

another example using the above ideas: auto start app
